Description:Letter from Clarence Godshalk to Lowell Kammerer stating that spring has come, birds are here; spring work will start much earlier this year. After indecision about privet hedge in Hedge Garden, have now decided to cut the entire hedge to the ground to start over. If growth too small by summer's end, we will replace it with another hedge.. Mr. Nordine and I have made a surplus list for many lilacs, and will keep one of each kind of lilac to be sure those planted are well-established.
Our attendance has been good on Sundays but we will probably not open until the first of April. In announcing our classes, we have specified an enrollment of twenty-five members, otherwise no class. Because of talk of only two gallons with A coupons, classes may be poorly attended. He also goes into other personal details.
